My Opinions: No caviar this time, but I did make good on my 2011 promise to try sitting at the bar - curiosity satisfied and not likely to be repeated. If you want to eat, it's much better to get a table here.
The scene was busy with a nice, after-work, "mature" crowd, but it lacked a comfort level that makes a bar truly great. The bartenders try, but I think the service is better in the dining room.
The food is always fresh, tasty and filling, but I wasn't thrilled with my meal tonight. The burger patty wasn't as fresh and moist as I expected, and the beet salad had more ice cream-scooped goat cheese than beet slices (I love cheese, but come on! ...and beets are cheap!!).
To note: I saw their private dining room downstairs by the bathrooms and it was "okay". What truly turned me off was their 2010 standard event packet. It had a lot of rules and fees, and was written with little thought for pleasing/attracting clients. Hopefully it will be revised with softer language and less contingencies in 2011.
